Hi Dianne, Congratulations on publishing your book. My birthday is also in November, so I’ll have to get your book as an early birthday present. The only Kindle I have is the free app from Amazon, so I’ll probably go there and pay the 99 cents, but for one of your books, I’m sure that’s still like getting it free. Thanks for the gift.

I’m happy to pay any Kindle price. I just finished Soul’s Child and can’t wait to get my hands on this next one. I’m spending more time reading your books than I am writing. 😦 But I love it!! Happy November birthday.

Congrats on the new book, and like so many of the other commenters I have a November birthday too. I’ll happliy accept The Eleventh Question as a freebie (and have indeed downloaded it from Smashwords as I type – thank you), answering my yet unspoken question which of your books I should start with – amazing also because my favourite number is 11, as my birthday and year each add up to 11 also. Best wishes for your birthday, you deserve all sorts of fabulous as giving away books is a lovely thing to do 🙂

Thanks for the gift! You both entertain and educate for you have inspired and motivated me, a confirmed technophobe (even if in my generation, so my parents keep telling me, that’s absurd), to join Smashwords and I have managed to download the PDF onto my PC…how exciting is that! Can’t wait to start reading when I get home from work…thanks Dianne and congrats!

1stly Happy Birthday to you!!!! 🙂 2ndly Excellent news on another novel. I don’t possess an E Reader 😦 but maybe I shall download. I so envy you and having books out there, (from the words of the Meadow-Lea ad) “you are to be congratulated” Well done Di.

Congratulations on getting a new book published, Dianne, and thanks for the free book! I have downloaded a copy and will get to reading it soon. Getting an e-reader this month, so this should make it easier. =D

You could drop some really strong hints! Or you could go for something other than the iPad. Have you heard about the Google Nexus? It’s pretty cool and more affordable. =D I’m waiting for mine to get here!

Congrats and thank you for our present for your birthday ( and mine is day after tomorrow). Can’t wait to load it on my what-is-now-ancient-e-reader to read it. Hope Santa comes through with the iPad for your birthday.
Also, thank you for the reminder that I need to finish up and get to the publishing sites. Just went to smashwords for the first time and Lulu to see what’s what. May need some advice later.
Thanks again, Dianne!

Happy birthday, Ly – I really hope you have a great one (and someone thinks of buying you a new e-reader 😉

If you have any questions about those sites just email me (my address is on the My Readers tab at the top of the page) and I hope I can give you some of the tips I’ve learned the hard way over the years…

Thank you so much for dropping by with the congrats and I really hope you enjoy the story 😀

Will definitely take you up later on those tips for publishing. I really appreciate the offer! Here’s a question: What do you do to celebrate when it is finally in print? (Nothing like starting with the last question first.) thanks Laura

Last year, when Soul’s Child was published, I had a book launch. It was absolutely fantastic!

This year I’m in the middle of a house move so I don’t think there will be a launch (friends and family keep pushing for one – they’re good like that!). But I think a quiet glass of champagne is on the cards for this Friday night instead 😉

Thank you so much!! What a lovely gift – I will be downloading it as soon as I get home. I like the final cover. The world, she keeps spinning, no matter what we are trying to figure out eh?
Happy early birthday too – hope you have some fun stuff planned, we always get good stories when you go out 🙂

Thanks, Elisa! I had the other cover on until yesterday and then {something happened that I’ll tell you about later} I quickly had to find another cover. You’re right about the world spinning – and I love your take on this cover 😀

Hahaha – when I go out all kinds of weird things happen. You know mw too well!

Congratulations Dianne! It is always wonderful when I think of how much time and effort go into keeping a book on target… to see it come to fruition. Like a baby being born, no? And that you for so graciously offering it as a gift to us!

Congratulations, Dianne. I shall go to my coin purse and dust it off. I only use the contents for very important purchases. It will grieve me dearly to part with such great wealth, but with a tear in my eye, I shall send the small fortune off to Amazon. For a writer of such caliber should be paid for her labors.

Congrats Dianne – and what a lovely generous idea for your birthday! I have downloaded and when the horror that is project month is over I’ll sit down and read it.
I am a firm believer in prolonged birthday (birth month ;-)) celebrations so hope you have lots of lovely things planned!
